Brew Pause™ Feature This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed toward the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot. NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow. 4. Before brewing coffee Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the heating plate and the top cover is closed. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. 5. Cup preference Push the 1-4 cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups. 6. Begin Brewing Press the Brew/Off button, and the red indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function (see page 7) and the Auto On indicator will light. NOTE: Press and release the Brew/Off button again to turn off at any time during brewing. 7. After brewing is complete When the brewing cycle has been completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds. Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning. Remove and discard the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter basket can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use. Do not put any water in the unit once the filter basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the filter basket with a damp cloth. Remove the carafe from the heating plate. Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher. The carafe and carafe lid should be placed on the upper rack only. Never immerse base unit in water or other liquids. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Fingerprints and other blemishes on the housing can be washed off with soap and water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe heating plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the heater plate or any part of the coffeemaker. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain. Maintenance Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. 9
